Book Description
This Element considers patterns of violent behaviour among the inhabitants of the Pacific Islands while their vast region has been undergoing religious change, overwhelmingly toward Christianity. Major topics researched are religion-based violent reactions to early intruders (including missionaries); new religious movements resisting unwanted interference (including 'cargo cults'); anti-colonial rebellions inspired by spiritual impetuses both indigenous and introduced; and the persistence of traditional modes of violence (tribal fighting, sorcery and tough punishments) adapted to altered conditions.

Book Description
Doctor/singer/teacher/author Meredith Kennedy chronicles her adventures on five continents, as she leads student groups through Africa and New Zealand, performs as a singer, and explores culture, environment, music, and the recipe for the elusive Broken Glass Cake. Broken Glass Cake: Adventures off the Beaten Path explores the moment and transcends the ordinary by rescuing live seafood, carrying on 3 a.m. conversations with a can of bug spray, delivering a cow by flashlight, searching for giant nocturnal crustaceans, dancing in a spirit possession ceremony, hoping for first contact with extraterrestrials, and making music videos on the island of Zanzibar. Dr. Kennedy's chronicles of life off the beaten path take her from Africa to the South Pacific, to Europe and Central America, all sprinkled with wry humor and delight in the unexpected, with the occasional foray into time warps and imaginary historical characters. Her adventures with her students as she directs college semester abroad programs in remote locations continue to reveal how life happens while you're making plans.Meredith Kennedy is a veterinarian, with a master's degree in vocal performance, and was an Academic Director for World Learning Inc. for ten years in Africa and New Zealand. She is an emergency vet by night, a singer by day and lives in Palo Alto, California, but spends much of her time traveling around the world. Now working on the sequel, Betrayed by the False Banana, Dr. Kennedy writes to avoid sleepwalking through life as a channel-surfing consumer confined by a rampant comfort zone. http: //SBPRA.com/MeredithKenned

Book Description
Pacific Islander Americans constitute one of the United States' least understood ethnic groups. As expected, stereotypes abound: Samoans are good at football; Hawaiians make the best surfers; all Tahitians dance. Although Pacific history, society, and culture have been the subjects of much scholarly research and writing, the lives of Pacific Islanders in the diaspora (particularly in the U.S.) have received far less attention. The contributors to this volume of articles and essays compiled by the Pacific Islander Americans Research Project hope to rectify this oversight. Pacific Diaspora brings together the individual and community histories of Pacific Island peoples in the U.S. It is designed for use in Pacific and ethnic studies courses, but it will also find an audience among those with a general interest in Pacific Islander Americans.

Book Description
Ranging from the Hawaiian Archipelago to the Aleutian Islands, from Silicon Valley to Guam, Pathways to the Present is a thoroughly researched and concisely argued account of economic and environmental change in the postwar "American" Pacific. Following a brief survey of the history of the Pacific, the author takes the Hawaiian Islands as the center of American activities in the region and looks at interactions among native Hawaiian, developmental, military, and environmental issues in the archipelago after World War II. He then turns to land- and water-use problems that have intersected with more nebulous quality-of-life concerns to generate policy controversies in the Seattle region and the San Francisco Bay area, especially Silicon Valley. Economic expansion and environmentalism in Alaska are examined through the lens of changes occurring along the Aleutians. From there the study considers Hiroshima after its destruction by the atomic bomb in 1945, looking at residents’ desire to combine urban-planning concepts. The author investigates the effort to remake Hiroshima as a high-tech city in the 1990s, an attempt inspired by the perceived success of Silicon Valley, and postwar planning on Okinawa, where American influences were particularly strong. The final chapter takes into account issues raised on Guam regarding the growth of tourism and the use of the island for military purposes and links these to developments in the Philippines to the west and American Sâmoa to the south.

Book Description
Seventh-Day Adventists, Melanesian cargo cults, David Koresh's Branch Davidians, and the Raelian UFO religion would seem to have little in common. What these groups share, however, is a millennial orientation-the audacious human hope for a collective salvation, which may be either heavenly or earthly. The Oxford Handbook of Millennialism offers readers an in-depth look at both the theoretical underpinnings of the study of millennialism and its many manifestations across history and cultures.
